London Adventure #9 - Peace on earth

Good day! Today was a good day!

Despite how good today was, I was late. Partly my fault, partly not.
I woke up late, which stalled me a little but didn't actually make me late; I got to the station and it turns out that the platform I usually leave from was 'secretly' out of action and all the trains I usually get were leaving on the platform behind me. Probably just my stupidity that caught me out, but screw you anyway TFL.

I got to NME and realised, oh crap, I didn't make any lunch. I had a little cry and then realised I'VE GOT A BLOODY STUDENT LOAN! Lunch out it is then, my treat. Oh why thank you Vin.
After a bit of time it struck 1pm and I was right out the door to see what Borough Market could rustle up for me. I wandered around and found something that really took my fancy; A hog roast sandwich, with honey mustard glaze and a bit of salad. Twas' bloody lav'ley. Thank you me.

When I got back, I had a lovely offer waiting for me. "Would you like to have a shot at designing your own take on a feature article?" It's like they know already; tears in my eyes, I grasped Tony by his hand, shaking it vigorously with delight, mumbling through the tears of joy, "I've waited my life for this". Okay, well actually I just said yes please, but lying never hurt anyone.

I spent the rest of the afternoon piecing together my own feature page, from the previous text and imagery used on the past article on Peace. I finished it just before home-time and got chance to show it to Mark and Tony. To my surprised they seemed rather impressed by what I had done—and there is no definite outcome, but keep your eyes on this blog, I could have some big news soon!
I know I'm being very secretive, but that's how it has to be my dear.

Last notes for the day—Elevators are awkward as hell & here is a lovely sign I found.

Last last notes of the day; I'm starting to realise that London isn't odd, it's me that doesn't fit in. There is more community when you scratch the surface and actually look around. There is humanity when you see how much residents give to the homeless and there is respect towards anyone that rightfully deserves it—it's just so busy and full that I've never really had to chance to realise it.
